Disney Celebrates Return of Nighttime Spectaculars With a Ton of New Food!

When Disneyland Resort was forced to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many Disneylanders hoped that the closure would only be for a month or two. Walt Disney World was able to reopen after about four months, but Disneyland remained shuttered for 412-days. While Disneyland Resort may have been behind Disney World when it came to reopening, it has since been ahead in nearly everything else.

Disneyland saw its trams return, while Disney World still only has trams at the Magic Kingdom and Ticket and Transportation Center. Disneyland also saw the return of its Christmas parade and fireworks show. Now, The Happiest Place on Earth will soon also see the return of Disney’s Main Street Electrical Parade to Disneyland Park and World of Color to Disney California Adventure Park. Disneyland Forever fireworks will also be replacing Mickey’s Mix Magic in just over a week.
